One of the most impressive experimental confirmations of Time Dilation involves muons. Muons are unstable elementary particles with a lifetime of 2.2 μμs. They are naturally produced in collisions between cosmic radiation and atoms in our upper atmosphere (~3000m above the Earth's surface). A muon travels at 0.98c. In a reference frame that is attached to the moving muon (the muon's reference frame), how far can the muon travel before it decays (recall that v = d/t)? For an observer...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that decay to electrons with a mean lifetime of 2.2 μs . They are produced when cosmic rays bombard the upper atmosphere about 12.4 km above the earth's surface, and they travel very close to the speed of light. The problem we want to address is why we see any of them at the earth's surface. a) What is the greatest distance a muon could travel during its 2.2 μs lifetime? b) According to your...

33.6 A muon is a elementary particle whose properties are similar to those of an electron (a negative charge and a spin of 1/2) with to the exception of its mass. Because of this it is possible to replace a one or more electrons in an atom with muons. A muon is 207 times 5more massive than an electron (and so has mass 1.88 x 102 kg). If the electron in a hydrogen atom was replaced with a muon then...

The average lifetime of muons at rest is 2.20 mus. A laboratory measurement on muons traveling in a beam emerging from a particle accelerator yields an average muon lifetime of 12.892 mus. What is the speed of the muons in the laboratory? 2.96 x 10^8 m/s What is their kinetic energy? (MeV) What is their momentum? (MeV/c - Do not enter a unit) The mass of a muon is 207 times that of an electron. 6.11 x 10^2

In its own reference frame, the half-life of a muon is 1.52us. Of course, what the muon is measuring is proper time, not necessarily the time that somebody in an inertial frame would say that it took to decay. Suppose we speed up some muons by sending them around and around in a circle. (There are ways to make things go around in circles at high speed by using magnetic fields.) The lifetime of the muons (as measured in the...
